RE: [ActiveDir] AD / Printers

[Rimmerman, Russ]

We're going through this now.  We're renaming our print servers to conform to our new AD naming standard, so obviously all our print queues break.  I used prnadmin.dll which comes with the Win2k resource kit, and the prnadmin.vbs that comes with it, and wrote a Winbatch script to call and register.  Basically it reads in all the print queues on the desktop, exports it to a txt file, does a search and replace for old print server->new print server, and exports it to a .bat file that it then executes which uses prnadmin.dll to add all the printers back in pointing to the new print server.  Works pretty well...

Is there an easy way to move printers off one server to another in AD without users having to remap?

 

Thanks
